Door Scope Installation Guide

Tools Needed

Before installing, hold door viewer with your hand and test the image is satisfactory. We suggest testing day and night and adjust for height.

Affix the enclosed drill template/sticker
on a desired place where the door viewer is to be installed.

Be
sure that the label is stuck on the outside of the door and is kept
horizontal in reference to the level line given on the sticker.

Drill the large hole all the way through the door. To achieve smooth edges at both side of the cutout, it is best to first drill from outside until the drill tip shows up on the inside. Now you should drill the remainder from inside out

Caution: The two or 4 small index holes are drilled from the outside
and not deeper than 1/4 inch. Do not drill all the way through.

Remove the template/sticker from the door.

Unscrew the outside
piece and insert it into the hole
from the outside.

With the outside piece held in place and its index pins dropped into
the index holes, screw in the main body from the inside.

After the outside piece and the body are
tightened, fasten the ring nut on the inside to firmly secure the viewer
to the door.

The door viewer is great, performs as claimed. Handle it very gently, it has precision optics. I suggest you have a small contractor install it. The required hole saw is big. Much bigger than for a residential door knob or dead bolt lock. Installation was easy but now I spent about as much on special tools (the hole saw) as I did on the viewer, and I own a 2 3/8 hole saw which I never expect to use again.

Finished installing the DS238 and everything looks to be in order. Had a little trouble understanding why the image was reversed, but called into customer support and they explained it very clearly that the prism used inside this device acts much like a mirror and makes the image left to right and right to left. Now that I know it doesn't bother me at all. What's important is that I see the person on the other side and that they can't see me! I installed this in my mother's home and she loves that she doesn't have to walk up to the door to see who is on the other side. She opted for the black finish and it's very well coated. The part itself feels heavy and durable, meant for industrial applications, but works great in her residential home. There's no denying the ds238 is a quality built part. Looking to order another one of these as gifts for a few friends!

Had my locksmith install the ds238 without much fuss. The large optics provides a viewable image on the inside and there really is no need to put your eye to a hole or even get close to the door. It is a one-way system so it's not possible to use special optics from the outside to look into the interior room. Build quality is top notch and the finish matches my door handles perfectly. Glad I replaced my old door peephole!

Love it. I can see the whole front yard. What's great is that I don't have to stick my eye up to the door. I can just stand back and see everything I need to see. Even at night with the porch light on I can see everything and feel safe about opening the door.

I had another device similar to this but it was ABS plastic and had blind spots. I couldn't get the lens aligned properly. This device is an all metal body which is great for a front door and the picture didn't have any distortion like the other product. Installation was easy because I already had the hole in the door, but so far I'm much happier with the DS238.

Reversed Image

Reversed images are a consequence of using a prism. Using the prism provides many benefits such as a wide angle reflection of the image as well as privacy of the occupant. A result is the image is reversed left/right and right/left just like looking into a mirror.
